Should I Meet Doctor For Runny Nose And Pins And Needles In Body After Taking Januvia?

I am a diabetic and I just started Januvia 100mg for the 1st time today at 11:30. I started a runny nose around noon but this evening have felt a growing sensation of pins and needles randomly over my body. Do I need to seek medical attention for an allergic reaction?
